Police in Syracuse, New York, were caught on camera arresting a young black boy for stealing a bag of chips.
The shocking video was caught on camera as at least four officers on the upstate force were seen dragging the 10-year-old boy, forcing him into a waiting patrol car.
The youngster appeared to be deeply traumatized by the entire incident and was crying and screaming as he had his hands placed behind his back and was frog-marched towards the waiting police car.
The video ends with the child crying hysterically as he sits in the back of a police car.
The incident is now under investigation by the Syracuse police Department who released a statement on the matter.
'We are aware of a video being shared on social media involving several of our Officers and juveniles accused of stealing from a store on the City's northside. The incident, including the Officers' actions and body-worn cameras, are being reviewed.
